Summer cinema on the HSZ meadow
It's summer, and what could be more appropriate for a cinema than to break free from the narrow confines and go outdoors!
The Kino im Kasten is proud to present an open-air event series on the campus in collaboration with the Sachgebiet Campusleben and the student council of the TU Dresden. Starting on June 2, we will show a summer film every Friday at 9:30 p.m. on the meadow directly behind the lecture hall center.
Come early and secure one of the 50 comfortable StuRa lounge chairs and enjoy a wonderful evening with your friends, classmates or colleagues.
You can also bring a blanket to sit directly on the meadow. Mosquito repellent and warm clothing are recommended. In case of rain or storms, the respective film screenings will be moved to the cinema hall at Kino im Kasten and will start there at the same time. Please check our website and/or social media channels for information in case of bad weather.
Location: HSZ meadow
Program
Dragon Inn
After the powerful eunuch Ts`ao had his greatest adversary killed, his family is sent into exile. There, the secret police intend to wipe them out as well, so that no one can avenge the murdered man. At the Dragon Gate Inn, the secret police meet other travelers, who are to be eliminated first. However, this is not quite as simple as expected, because the travelers have their own plans... (Source: Rapid-Eye Movies, translated using DeepL) "Dragon Inn" is considered the initial impetus of Taiwanese cinema. Inspired by the Western, master director King Hu created one of the most influential works of Asian martial arts cinema with highly dynamic film editing and magnificent landscape shots.

The Virgin Suicides
The boys in the neighborhood don't have it easy. They only have eyes for the five pretty and mysterious Lisbon sisters. The boys would do anything to get to know the devoutly raised girls. But their strict religious mother and introverted father shield their daughters from the outside world to protect them from the dangers of puberty. Heartbreaker Trip Fontaine (Josh Hartnett), however, manages to persuade the parents to let the girls go to a school party with him and his friends. When one of the daughters, Lux (Kirsten Dunst), doesn't come home until the morning after the party, events escalate at the Lisbon home. (Source: Capelight, translated using DeepL)

Clue (OmU)
The world-famous board game Clue was the inspiration for this murderous comedy. Did Colonel Mustard commit the murder in the study with a revolver? Was it Miss Scarlet in the billiard room with a rope or even Wadsworth, the butler? Meet the notorious suspects and discover their devilish shenanigans - you won't be able to stop laughing!

Frances Ha (OmU)
Fast-paced, witty, seductive in a flawless way, and shot in poignant black-and-white imagery, Noah Baumbach's (GREENBERG, THE INK FISH AND THE WHALE) film FRANCES HA is modern-day MANHATTAN. But Manhattan is now in Brooklyn, and that's where we meet Frances. Frances is played by the enchanting Greta Gerwig (TO ROME WITH LOVE), who stumbles through contemporary New York in search of happiness. Like many of her generation of almost-adults, she wants to try everything, but achieves very little. Her greatest achievement is her friendship with the surly and sharp-tongued Sophie, with whom she spends her days in New York, "like a lesbian couple who have stopped having sex." A budding romance with one of her friends ends in Nowhere. A captivatingly accurate and funny film that portrays its main character openly and generously. Despite her craziness, one falls in love with Frances. (Source: Die FilmagentInnen, translated using DeepL)

Heißer Sommer
Two groups of high school students hitchhike to the Baltic Sea during the summer vacations and get in each other's way on the highway. The eleven girls from Leipzig give the ten boys from Karl-Marx-Stadt the runaround. They meet again at the sea. The boys are out for revenge and lead the girls into a mosquito hell. The fun is greater than the anger, and they become closer. Stupsi, who organized the trip for her group, has her eye on Kai. He, however, is after the dashing Brit and therefore comes into conflict with Wolf. But even the small rivalries and some mischief do not disturb the ultimately successful vacation, in which some new friendships are made. (Source: Das zweite Leben der Filmstadt Babelsberg.
